fic: today you were far away; spoilers for sherlock s3 tsot; one-sided j/s, irene

Series: It’s like a train-wreck (beautiful and deadly)

Title: Today You Were Far Away (And I Didn't Ask You Why)

Fandom: Sherlock BBC

Spoilers: Up to and Including Sherlock Season 3 Episode 2: The Sign of Three

Pairings: John/Mary, One-sided John/Sherlock, Irene/Her Assistant

Characters: Sherlock Holmes, Irene Adler, John Watson, Mary Morstan, Ensemble

Warnings: Mentions of copious drug use in the past, but also of temptation and potential relapses.

Summary: Sherlock needs to get away. He needs to not be Sherlock Holmes, for a while. He’s exhausted, and not really thinking straight. So he leaves. He left town, now he’s leaving England. He can only hope that the distance helps. He doesn’t know what he’ll do, if it doesn’t. This is the sequel to You Don't See Me Standing Here (I Just Came To Say Goodbye),

AN: So… The Sunday update didn’t happen.  Sorry about that. Somehow things didn’t work out. And then the last ep really took it out of me, so I’ve been on a bit of a crying jag for a while. The muse curled up in a corner and refused to cooperate, so here it is, two weeks later. This was intended to be the third in the Trainwreck, series but I’ve written it first, so it’s going up in that order. The timeline’s allll over the place, so forgive me for that. I had no fucks left to give.

Disclaimer: I own nothing. This is unbeta’d, so any constructive criticism will be taken gratefully. The title comes from ‘About Today’ by The National.
